Genetic Testing

Jess

So I just got back from my first ultrasound and it was so great! Saw the heart beat, the bean took in the right spot. Huge relief. THEN my provider asks me if I want to do genetic testing for baby or carrier testing for me and possibly husband.

I'm not sure I want to know? I mean, ok, so what if something is positive? What do I DO with that information?

I feel like I went from anxiously waiting for this ultrasound to make sure there wasn't an ectopic pregnancy to now worrying if there's a chromosomal abnormality.

When do I actually get to relax and get attached to this little bean? Or is this whole pregnancy just exchanging one worry and what if for another?
